MOTIVATION

Strict adherence to course rules by every pilot is critical to safeflight operations. In your flying experience up to now you havelearned how important course rules are to safe flying. Every flyerknows stories about pilots who had close calls because they failedto adhere to published course rules.

OVERVIEW

Upon completion of this lesson you will have learned theimportant features of the local operating area, the key proceduresthat are essential for the safe and orderly conduct of flight trainingand an introduction as well as an understanding of the proceduresand information that is found in your TRAWING ONE In-FlightGuide.

This lesson will cover:

* NAS Meridian airfield characteristics and operating

procedures

* Departures from NAS Meridian VFR/IFR

* NAS Meridian Military Operating Areas (MOA�s), and Special

Operating Areas (SOA�s) within the MOA�s

* Joe Williams Airfield (Bravo Field) characteristics and course

rules

* Recovery procedures

* Special/emergency procedures

* Typical flight sequence

* Divert airfield information

REFRESHER

In your previous flight training, you flew in MOAs and weregoverned by specific course rules; use that experience at NASMeridian to reinforce similarities and adapt to differences.

H. Meridian Ground Operations 1.1.2.2, 1.1.2.2.3

NOTE: Situational awareness is a trait that identifiesthose who have the �edge� in our profession -- thosewho will both recognize and avoid scenarios that exceedthe margin of safety allowed in operations. In yourcurrent training this trait is developed by starting themission with proper briefing and a thorough knowledge ofthe environment in which you will conduct your flight.

1. Weather

a. If the weather is IMC sign DD 175-1 at the dutydesk or obtain own weather brief

b. If the weather is less than 3000/3, you mustdeclare an alternate when placing yourclearance on request

2. T-45 Radios -- 2 radios / preset channels

a. Ability to monitor 2 frequencies simultaneously

b Discuss radio setup for ATIS, clearance, taxiand departure

NOTE: The controlling/informational agenciesfor NAS Meridian are listed in your frequencycard for your aircraft type in the order in whichthey are set up on your communication radiopreset channels. This list is also replicated inthe In-Flight Guide.

Your frequency cards will have frequencies withthe designator �SFA� preceding them. Thesefrequencies are �Single Frequency Approach�frequencies. Single frequency approaches aredesigned to reduce the workload by removingthe necessity of switching from one frequencyto another during an approach for single-pilotedor high-performance aircraft.

NOTE: FAM stage taxi will be on taxiwaycenterline at all times. Dual hops may taxibehind marshall at the discretion of the IP.

Course Rules



d. Right of way: right of way shall be given tooutbound aircraft on all taxiways unless specialcircumstances dictate otherwise

e. Taxi lights: the taxi light will be used asrequired for night taxi, exercising care not toblind other pilots

f Emergency vehicles: all aircraft will STOPwhenever Emergency vehicles are proceedingon the ramp area

8. Launch

a. The takeoff checklist MUST be completedPRIOR to calling for takeoff

(1) Marshall area

(2) Dual flights -- the student pilot maycomplete checklist during taxi IF the IPHAS CONTROL and is taxiing the aircraft

b. Night section takeoffs are not authorized

II. Departures 1.1.2.2, 1.1.2.2.4

A. VFR departures

NOTE: Flights utilizing the MOAs MUST depart, enterthe MOA and return form the MOA on an IFR flight plan.VFR operations outside the MOA structure can beconducted for the purposes stated below.

1. Flights not requiring MOA activity

a. Entry into the NAS Meridian landing pattern

(1) Crosswind turn to the downwind aftertakeoff

(2) Depart and re-enter at initial

b. Key field operations [BI, RI...]

c. Request Grey Oak departure from clearancedelivery

2. Advise tower of intentions on departure

a. Downwind entry

�Tower, GREY OAK 135 ready for takeoff.Request downwind after takeoff, over�

b. Depart and re-enter at initial

�Tower, GREY OAK 135 ready for takeoff.Depart and re-enter for the overhead, over�

c. Depart for operations at Key Field

�Tower, GREY OAK 135 for takeoff. Depart forKey Field, over �

B. IFR departures

NOTE: All aircraft leaving NAS Meridian airspace orrequiring MOA related activities shall depart NASMeridian on an IFR flight plan using a Local InstrumentDeparture (LID), VFR on an IFR flight plan or on radarvectors to the first point on their IFR flight plan. There areno Standard Instrument Departures published for NASMeridian. Cross country flights must depart VFR on anIFR flight plan or request radar vectors to the first pointon their clearance. It is important to note that the act offiling an IFR flight plan into a MOA activates the MOAand effectively �sterilizes� the airspace of civilian IFRtraffic.

LIDs are not found in FLIP Terminal Publications. Theyare routes established by a letter of agreement betweenTRAWING ONE and the ATC facility controlling the localairspace -- Memphis Center.

Course Rules



NOTE: Each coded departure (LID) has a specific use.The DANCY LID is the primary means of reaching Area 4of the Meridian 1 West MOA. The UNION LID providesthe primary means for entry into Area 1A, Area 1C andArea 2 of the the Meridian 1 West MOA. The SONIEdeparture provides entry to Area 1B and Area 3 of theMeridian 1 West MOA. The SHARK LID providesingress and egress for R4404. Each of these four LIDswill be presented in detail in this lesson. For LIDs:

VIII. Divert Airfield Information

LESSON NOTE:

It is not necessary to discuss each divert field in detail, but dodiscuss at least one airfield to identify the important points. Thestudents may study the remaining airfields on their own. Theinstructor may also want to make additional points gained fromhis experience from these airfields.

Emphasize that some divert fields may not have the properfacilities for a particular situation. For instance, Key Field andJackson International have no arresting gear. In the event of atotal hydraulic failure, these fields would be inappropriatechoices. NOLF Joe Williams does not have ILS or approachlighting and therefore may not be appropriate under extremelylow visibility situations.
